Disclaimer: The Dexter book series is the property of Jeff Lindsay, and "The Dead Zone" is not mine either. This fanfic is a derivative of canon material that is not my property. I do not profit from these writings. The opinions and actions expressed in these stories are not necessarily the views and beliefs of the original author or me.
Spoilers: For "The Dead Zone" episode 6.1 "Heritage" and Dearly Devoted Dexter (a couple of spoilery notes about Dexter under the cut, for TV fans).

Spoilery notes for fans of the TV show: As I understand, the first season of Dexter followed the first book, Darkly Dreaming Dexter. Thus, the second season would logically (but not necessarily) follow the canon of the second book, Dearly Devoted Dexter. This fic is based on that book's canon, and thus contains a spoiler for that book and perhaps the second season. Notes under the cut.

Excerpt: Johnny Smith claims to be a psychic, and he believes he is a psychic, two facts that are generally mutually exclusive, barring the charming residents of the state mental facilities. I do not believe in psychic powers, of course... Johnny Smith is, however, never wrong about what he tells me.
